Our garden in summer is taken over by nasturtiums, some might consider them a weed but here in the heart of Noordhoek the are welcomed as they spread out their lush leaves. What is to follow is a magnificent display of colour butterflies and sun.

The Daisy Collection, a collection of hand illustrated grown up colouring books was born out of a love for nature and the peace you find in a garden.

The first book Flowers and Gardens has illustrations of Lillies,Proteas, and the country side.

These books have been designed on special high quality paper, Carin Maehr the artist and illustrator who trained under one of South Africa’s finest watercolour artists May O’Shea. Carin wanted you to have the option to either colour in or paint, so the books were designed with this in mind.

This can also be done with Aqua pencil crayons. This below is an extract from The Daisy Collection “Flowers and Gardens”. For more information visit the website http://www.carinmaehr.com for orders.
